Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 252 - 36 The Storm Has Arrived

Chapter 252 -36 The Storm Has Arrived

“Discuss the war with me after it’s over? No problem, Master. Please leave me your address, and after the war, I’ll come to find you.”

Damir was very pleased with Richard’s suggestion and readily agreed.

In his eyes, Richard completely embodied the image of an Alchemy Master. Richard proactively seeking him out to discuss research was more than he could have asked for.

Richard left him an address and then returned to the vehicle to continue basking in the sun.

Richard had gradually adapted to the lifestyle of longevity species. The standstill of the war was very brief, and rather than doing research, it was better to soak up the sun.

He wasn’t short on those few days’ time.

But the good times were doomed to be brief. Not long after Richard returned to the vehicle, an order from the headquarters came through the Communication Crystal Ball.

“Number seven, eight, and nine squads, headquarters needs you to head to position nineteen and stand by. The specific orders will be issued by the Battlefield Commander at position nineteen.”

“Position nineteen? And the orders need to be issued by the Battlefield Commander.”

Richard frowned slightly. It seemed that the standstill on the battlefield was about to end.

Returning to the cockpit, Richard started the Magic Support Vehicle and began to follow the convoy towards position nineteen.

Along the way, the landscape around the Magic Support Vehicle gradually took on a gloomy hue. The sky darkened imperceptibly, with heavy clouds gathering overhead like silent giant beasts, slowly moving to obscure the sole sun in the sky. The sunlight was devoured bit by bit by these clouds, leaving only a barren grey wasteland behind.

The wind suddenly picked up fiercely, sweeping up roadside pebbles and dust before viciously pelting the cockpit windows with a pit-a-pat sound.

All around the road lay abandoned Fire Lizard villages. The desolate scenery seemed even more desolate amidst this dimness and oppression, as if the whole world was enveloped in a layer of gloom.

“This is a good omen.”

Looking at the scenery that seemed to herald the coming of the apocalypse, Richard couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ga? Did I hear wrong? How is this atmosphere in any way a good omen?” Ulysses was somewhat astonished.

If his sense of aesthetics was in no error, this scene was in no way a good sign. In his memory, only those Abyss rabble would find this atmosphere pleasant.

“Ulysses, you need to understand our position,” Richard laughed. “We are the outsiders, and the Fire Lizards are the natives. In the mythology of the Fire Lizards, the three suns in the sky represent the three Fire Lizard Kings. Now, with the sun covered by clouds, it’s a bad omen for the Fire Lizards, but for us, it’s an excellent one.”

“Ga, don’t say it, but now that you explain it like that, it kind of makes sense,” Ulysses exclaimed, somewhat surprised. “But unfortunately, this situation is man-made.”

“Man-made?”

Richard was slightly startled; could this be the Fire Lizards’ weather weapon? But then he thought of another possibility.

“Are you talking about the Fire Lizard King or the Great Wizard?”

“Ga, it’s both.”

Ulysses looked up towards the horizon, his gaze seemingly able to traverse space and see the Royal Capital of the Morick Empire.

“Ga, the World Master of this world is about to step down from the throne, and your Great Wizards will also come out of Iron City.

The war is about to truly begin.”

…

Position nineteen:

The Battlefield Commander listened to the reports coming through the Communication Crystal Ball.

“Your Excellency the Commander, the support convoy has reached three kilometers behind position nineteen, and the range of the magical support covers the entire position.”

After hearing this, the Commander’s voice was calm as he said, “Good, wait there for my orders.”

He put down the Crystal Ball and picked up a pair of special Eagle Vision Skill binoculars to observe intelligence from the opposing Fire Lizard position through a window.

Although Merrick’s Shield had dealt a heavy blow to the Black Wizard network within the Morick Empire, some Black Wizards managed to survive. Because these Black Wizards were located in the rear or in some special places, they couldn’t be withdrawn to the Wizard-occupied zone, so the headquarters had issued them an order to lie low temporarily.

But now with the war at a standstill, the headquarters had no choice but to activate some of the Black Wizards to scout out Fire Lizard intelligence.

Not long ago, the activated Black Wizards sent back a message: The Fire Lizards had settled on position nineteen as their main target and would soon launch an attack.

Through the telescope, position nineteen appeared as usual, with no changes. Fire Lizards continued their patrols and drills, and the giant dragon tortoises, burdened with Dragon Breath Cannons, lay lazily on the ground, yawning with open mouths and consuming Fire Dragon Grass by the cart-load with their tongues.

If the Commander hadn’t known the intelligence, the false front that the Fire Lizards had put up in front of him would’ve surely deceived him.

The Commander picked up the Communication Crystal Ball and operated it a few times, calling out:

“All Wizards, be alert, all Wizards, be alert. In the coming days, strengthen your guard and watch for the movements of the Fire Lizards. If there’s anything special, report to the Battlefield Headquarters promptly.”

As the sky dimmed, the temperature in the Red Sun World began to drop quickly.

Though Fire Lizards weren’t cold-blooded, they would naturally become sluggish when the temperature plummeted.

Therefore Fire Lizards rarely launched relentless attacks day and night.

Wizards were aware of this, but also knew the consequences of placing too much faith in this fact, so Wizard scouting was continuous, day and night.

Three kilometers behind position nineteen, the support convoy.

Richard lay in the driver’s seat, eyes fixed on the night sky outside the window, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a black crow flew into the cockpit from the window.

“How does it look, any signs of the Fire Lizards making a move tonight?”

“Caw, it doesn’t seem like it. I haven’t seen any army formations, but your intelligence is indeed correct. Many troops are converging here from other places, expected to arrive at the location just before sunrise.”

“Okay,” Richard replied lazily, “Looks like the battle won’t start until tomorrow.”

Time ticked away, and a ray of dawn pierced the darkness, bringing a hint of heat to the land of the Red Sun World.

Watching the rising sun, Richard suddenly thought of the myth of the Fire Lizards.

In the myth of the Fire Lizards, the three Kings of the Fire Lizards were incarnations of the sun.

Suddenly, Richard sat up, a bad premonition flashing through his mind.

“Ulysses, you said earlier that the Fire Lizard King would step down from his throne, right?”

“Caw, that’s right. What have you thought of?”

“What do you think about our positions here in reference to the Fire Lizard King?”

“Caw, probably not much different from being made of paper,” Ulysses nodded, “I think I understand what you mean. Don’t overthink it. If the Fire Lizard King takes action, your Great Wizards will too.

In a Plane War, it’s king against king, general against general. Unless the king is dead, you lot won’t even get near the king.”

“But Ulysses, have you considered that there are three Fire Lizard Kings, while there are only two Great Wizards?” Richard said darkly.

“Unless a Great Wizard can quickly slay a Fire Lizard King, a single Fire Lizard King acting alone is enough to kill all of us wizards.”

No sooner had Richard finished speaking than a terrible aura came from the horizon.

The owner of the aura was thousands of miles away from Richard, yet its presence stood out as conspicuously as the sun.

Richard quickly put on the Eagle Vision Skill glasses and looked in the direction the aura was coming from.

He saw a very blurry shadow on the horizon, a shadow that pierced the sky and the earth, looking like a hybrid of a giant dragon and a fire lizard. This bizarre creature was entirely crimson, with five dragon heads neatly lined up on its shoulders. The dragon opened and closed its mouth, sending a long dragon roar throughout the Red Sun World.

After the dragon roar, another massive shadow appeared on the other side of the battle line.

This figure also reached through the heavens and earth, also bearing five dragon heads on its shoulders.

The Fire Lizards had dragon blood flowing through them, and with each additional head a dragon grew, it would transcend a level of life.

Five heads signified that both these looming figures were Level 5 Creatures.

…

The Fire Lizard King stepping down from the throne was an unprecedented event for the entire Red Sun World. There were indeed ancient instances where a Fire Lizard King had descended from the throne to personally go to war in the distant past. But those events were so ancient that the Fire Lizards regarded them as mythical legends.

Watching these two giant figures, the Fire Lizards let out excited roars.

The Fire Lizard King is an incarnation of the sun, and the sun is the divine of the Fire Lizards.

Now that the Fire Lizard King had stepped down from the throne to go to the battlefield, it was as if the divine were with them.

With the divine fighting alongside them, what was there to fear?

The appearance of the Fire Lizard King tightened the hearts of the wizards; the Fire Lizard King had appeared, and so the Great Wizards should also make their appearance.

Although the organized White Wizard Army indeed had strategies to confront the World Master, no one wanted to battle a divine with a mortal body unless absolutely necessary.

Soon, under the hopeful gaze of the wizards, two figures appeared on the battlefield.

One figure was the familiar Great Wizard Qing Shuang, draped in a white Wizard Robe made of blue ice, hovering in the air. Just one glance was enough to feel the bone-piercing coldness. He held a Magic Wand made of Ice Crystal in his hand, on which countless mystical Runes circulated endlessly.

On the other side of the battle line, Richard finally saw the Wizard known as the Alchemy Master.

Richard had only read about the Alchemy Master in records. According to the records, this Wizard became known during the Wizard Wars and quickly amassed resources during the period of expansion, becoming one of the first Great Wizards of that era.

It was said that this Great Wizard started as an Undead Wizard, then moved onto the Soul School, the Shape-shifting School, and even the Curse School, merging the knowledge of these Schools to create a witchcraft known as “Alchemy Master.”

This was also the origin of his name.

Richard did not believe this rumor at first; after all, in the early days of the period of expansion, the various Schools held deep-seated grudges against each other. How could a regular wizard move between several Schools?

But upon seeing the face of this Great Wizard, Richard realized that the rumor seemed to be true.

This skeletal figure bathed in the green fire of Evil Power perfectly matched the rumor.

“Caw, I think we might want to hide for a bit,” Ulysses suddenly said. After regaining his Third Level strength, his ability to hide had greatly improved, and he could now move right under the noses of World Master Level powerhouses — as long as he didn’t fight.

“Hide?”

Richard was stunned.

In the next instant, a huge divine shadow appeared in front of position number nineteen.
